Dog Owner Complains About Horse Shit


A Pile of Horse Crap

The sight of horse shite on our roads and footpaths is quite a common sight these days as equine ownership increases, however the unwillingness or inability of horse riders to pick up their animals stinking dung piles is angering many dog owners who say there is one rule for them and one for others.

The furious complainant wrote to Devon Council regarding piles of crap left on Exmouth beach. "Why can't they they pick it up after themselves? If I pulled down my trollies and shat one out on the High Street I would probably get fined and so should the dirty posho fat arsed horse brigade that make our town look like the wild west"!  Opinion is divided on this issue with many residents happy enough to take a spade and Tesco carrier and fill it up to feed their tomato plants. However there is a serious point to be made by some cyclists who view the large deposits of gee gee dump as a safety hazard. Tony Tosswell ranted on his Facebook page "The utter twats, one day I will be on my arse because of those lazy bastards"!  

A Devon Council spokesperson explained "Although we do sympathise with dog owners and cyclists, there is no law against your horse having a clearout on the road or pavement, something to do with Henry VIII or some shit like that"
